River Corner Church is a Spirit-led, simple church community of Jesus followers, nestled in the countryside of Conestoga, PA. We are a people rooted in the way of Jesus, shaped by the Anabaptist tradition, and drawn together by a desire to live with purpose, humility, and quiet faithfulness. Though we gather in a peaceful setting, our community comes from all across Lancaster County.
We don’t have big lights or polished gatherings—just a desire to worship, grow, and follow Jesus in everyday life together. We meet each Sunday at 10:00 AM in a simple meetinghouse on a quiet hillside in Conestoga. You’re always welcome here.
We are part of the LMC Network— an expanding fellowship of Anabaptist congregations proclaiming Christ to all peoples.
Come as you are—just be yourself.
We exist to love God, follow Jesus, partner with the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God, and love our neighbors. Our mission is to be a growing community of everyday people who gather to worship God, follow Jesus, and journey through life together. To live this committment out well, our community is anchored by four shared values:
We gather to worship and experience God.
We study the scriptures to learn how to follow, live, and love like Jesus.
We are committed to journeying through life together.
We partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing and peace to the places we live, work, and play.
We want to be a people who listen, love, and live like Jesus—together.
We are a people committed to Jesus, the authority of Scripture, and the historic, Spirit-empowered mission of the Church. As part of the Anabaptist tradition, we value peacemaking, community, discipleship, and the centrality of Jesus in all things.

River Corner Church has existed in Conestoga for generations, but in 2022, it experienced a rebirth. What began as a small gathering of faithful people in 1760 has gone through my eras, but continues to grow into a Spirit-led and intergenerational community of Jesus followers. While we honor our past, we are also writing a new chapter—one rooted in simplicity, hospitality, and the rhythms of Scripture, prayer, and life together.

At River Corner Church, we seek to bring God’s goodness, good news, healing, and peace into everyday life. This first looks like empowering one another to follow Jesus where we live, work, and play—bringing God's hope, peace, and healing to ordinary places.
We also want to invest locally, resource globally, and send globally, together. Here is a glimpse at how we collaborate on that mission: Water Street Mission, Friendship Community, Kevin & Anita Warfel, Menuka Tamang, various Relief Ministries, and more.
We believe we’re better together—and when even two or three gather with purpose, Jesus is there with them.
Whether you're seeking a quiet church near Lancaster, Millersville, Pequea, or Conestoga—or simply looking for a place to belong and begin your faith journey—you are welcome here.
